Anyone else worried that the children were returned to their parents? I mean, they probably got the gun from the parents, and something about hanging around in a parking lot suggests that the kids don't have a good home-life.

A: She should have just rolled down the window and tussled the little hiar and said...."Oh YOU!!!"....You....you're SO CUTE!" and then left....

Or B: she should have kicked open the drivers side door with her foot, trying to take them down, fired up the truck and then powerslid a quick 180 and then taken them both out *with extreme prejudice* and then backed the fark up over them squashing their little heads like over ripe cherry tomatoes.

C: Shot them in the face and opened up their brain cavity like a fist into a big bowl of pudding.

aagrajag:I really pity you guys; your entire country is one gigantic Mexican standoff.

No it isn't. Do you really believe the entire country is like this? Given the size and population of the U.S. of A, do you understand what the odds are of encountering something like this in a lifetime, much less on a continuous basis as you might be suggesting?

My comment was in response to his about: "I'll give up my guns the day everyone else does."

I likened fact that he cannot reasonably disarm until everyone else does to a three-way standoff. Of course, everyone else feels exactly the same way, so nothing can change. Fear begets fear, rational or otherwise. It's downright sad.

I don't need a weapon because no one else has one. I very much like it that way.

Thanks. We needed a basement dwelling, former parking lot user to educate us on the dangers of using parking lots as children. Many will be saved.

Holding parents responsible for their kids' actions seems like it would go a long way towards teaching some parental responsibility. Don't wanna to go to jail for rape/assault/robbery that your 14 year old committed? What kind of parent are you that your kid thought this was acceptable?

If it is truly a "his friends made him do it/it was only one time/he's a good kid" the courts would bear this out.

Priotip: Don't raise your kids to be gangsters. The only thing I ever got arrested for while I was underage wasn't something you'd spend time in prison for anyway, and I guarantee I got it worse from my parents (for about 18 months afterwards) than the fine/SIS/DL probation that the courts gave me.

Not being for this idea screams "I don't want to be responsible for my kids' actions." Well, fark that. As a parent, you farking are.

Being able to defend oneself isn't a desire stemming from fear but rather a natural right. This is to say nothing of the other purposes of firearms (shooting targets, sport, hunting).

The primary function of a gun in as a weapon. Hunting, target shooting also? Sure. But, people don't use .22s for that, though, do they? Their sole function is to wound and destroy human life.

I enjoy living in a society in which I need not worry about defending myself. I like not having a good reason to keep lethal weapons around my home.
